Criminal Elements review

Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 2 September 2013 12:39 (A review of Criminal Elements)

I like this anthology of mysteries. My favorites include Sue Grafton's "She Didn't Come Home," and Peter Lovesey's "A Man With a Fortune."

The Testament of Mary review

Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 2 September 2013 12:38 (A review of The Testament of Mary)

This was a thought provoking book, depicting the Gospel story from a different point of view. I liked how throughout Mary talks about being a mother first and last.

Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 2 September 2013 12:37 (A review of Virtual Light (Bantam Spectra Book))

This was an interesting cyberpunk novel. I liked the characters Berry and Chevette and how they worked together to figure out the story behind the special glasses. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Idoru.

I liked this thriller about the "monster" inside and what happens when it's released without control. I liked Paul's interactions with Lia, his son Mark, and his aunt Vivian.

Fortress in the Eye of Time review

Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 1 September 2013 09:48 (A review of Fortress in the Eye of Time)


Overall I liked this fantasy epic featuring the innocent Tristan trying to understand his purpose in the world. Sometimes, however, I wish there was a list of characters and their connections as many of the names were similar and I found it hard to keep track of who was who. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Fortress of Eagles.

Posted : 11 years, 9 months ago on 4 March 2013 02:19 (A review of Running Away to Home: Our Family's Journey to Croatia in Search of Who We Are, Where We Came From, and What Really Matters)

I enjoyed this book of not only researching family history, but living in the ancestors' home village and meeting new relatives. I liked how Jen learned not to stand outside as an observer but instead participate in daily activities, thus making new and valued friends.

Triangle: A Novel review

Posted : 11 years, 9 months ago on 4 March 2013 02:18 (A review of Triangle: A Novel)

This was a very good book about people and their stories. The ones they tell, and the ones told about them. I liked Esther's interactions with the interviewer as well as her granddaughter's friend George Bostwick composing music based on DNA.
